Pérez signed a minor league contract with the Red Sox last December and has spent the entire season on the minor league injured list recovering from a shoulder issue. At 35 years old, there’s a decent chance his career is over.

Pérez can earn $1.4 million if he makes Boston’s major league roster next year. He suited up for just five games this past season with the Giants before suffering a season-ending shoulder injury. The 34-year-old backstop is widely-regarded as one of the better defensive catchers in the game, but he’s coming off a pair of injury-marred campaigns, which cast some doubt on his durability moving forward. He’s a decent low-cost dice roll for the Red Sox as extra depth behind Connor Wong and Reese McGuire.

Perez suffered the injury in early May. He'll miss the remainder of the 2022 season, but should be ready to go for the start of spring training in 2023 provided he avoids any setbacks along the way in his recovery.
